INTRODUCTION

Under pharmaceutical view, globules are small round sugar pills. These are prepared from pharmaceutical-grade sugar. When these globules are impregnated with the medicines, these are known as medicated globules. In homoeopathy, globules are used extensively for dispensing of their medicines.

Homoeopathic medicines are prepared by potentising the crude drugs substance into useful medicines. This is achieved by diluting the crude drug substance extensively by processes known as trituration and succusion. A vehicle is required to carry the desired amount of dose to the patient. Globules are required to carry such infinitesimal dose without getting its properties disturbed. Milk sugar globules help to solve this purpose due to its following properties:

Sugar globules do not alter the properties of homoeopathic medicinal dilutions.
It can readily dissolve the homoeopathic medicinal dilutions which are prepared in an alcohol base.
Medicated sugar globules can be used for a long period of time without disturbing the medicinal properties. It can be stored easily without any special storage requirements.
It does not require any preservatives for its storage.

Why dispensing through medicated globules is better than direct alcohol solution of the medicine?

Sugar globules are easily soluble and hence can be easily administered to any age group.
Globules are easy to carry, and there is no fear of spilling of the liquid likewise in case of alcohol.
